No. They wait for us to be the soft sod and do it for them, THEN say we are the wicked "colonialists".

If it were not for us they would still be using the odd diamond they found as a door stopper.

De Beers...........

Over the last century, De Beers has been highly successful in increasing consumer demand for diamonds. One of the most effective marketing strategies has been the marketing of diamonds as a symbol of love and commitment. De Beers is often criticised, and also praised, for creating demand for the diamond engagement ring through its advertising.

In 2004, De Beers pleaded guilty and paid a $10 million fine to the United States Department of Justice to settle a 1994 charge that De Beers had conspired with General Electric to fix the price of industrial diamonds (the diamonds used for industrial purposes such as abrasives on drills). General Electric had been to court to face the charges, but the case against GE was thrown out for lack of evidence. De Beers refused to appear in court, but ten years later "admitted [to] conspiring to fix prices in the industrial diamond market", pleaded guilty, and agreed to pay a $10 million fine.


Nice people..................

Who cares? Africans don't, look what they do to each other.

I'm not saying that the profiteering businesses which now infest the globe are anything other than the vermin this clearly shows De Beers to be. They are not helping the situation in the African states, but again I restate my point, we aren't helping there, and we can't help there until the local will drives local people to action. Only then can we support them in building the self-sufficient countries they deserve.

Before you think I've gone soft, I have an ulteriour(sp?) motive... If their own countries are made more desirable places to live, with prospects and hope, safety and security, then fewer of them will want to come here... And we don't want them here...

Oh wake up Bruv2, the reality is that some of the biggest problems in the world today all exist in Africa, most of them of biblical proportions. Why can't you just admit the place is an unfortunate dump?

[Sweetpea]

Because he is married to an African, and is somewhat hinderd by 'rose coloured glasses'.

And all the people are different.....shudder........thick lipped, kinky haired, pee in their own drinking water, machete each other to death for the slightest thing, knock out kids one after the other, beg for food to support them.......evil evil people.

Because he is married to an African, and is somewhat hinderd by 'rose coloured glasses'.

Because he married an African women, he has taken the time to look into himself, to consider what he sees in the media and judge it against the other side not so readily revealed there.......that same slimey western gutter slimeballed media we love to slag off......surprise....they got it right about Africa.....but nothing else.

White Europeans have so far caused two world wars, invented weapons that could annihilate the planet, designed weapons that kill people but leave buildings intact, weapons that de-foliate regions of plant life, weapons that send burning shards into bodies, bombs that shower burning jelly over its enemies bodies, wiped out up to 220,000 with two bomb explosions.


A few Chombies chopping off hands and feet and peeing in their drinking water seems like paradise to me........
